Shortcut command line

To create a Basic TestWare shortcut command line, first specify the application (btw), then the desired station
options.

The syntax of the shortcut command line is critical. If you do not use a supported command-line format, the
shortcut will not work.

To view a list of available Station Builder command-line options, enter btw /H. These options are also described
in the following table.

Note:

If the parameter name contains spaces (for example, test 257.000), the name must be enclosed in
quotation marks (“test 257.000“).

The Basic TestWare application supports two command-line formats: decorator-based and precedence based.

Decorator-Based Command Line Format

The decorator-based command line format requires a prefix to identify each parameter.

When you are creating a decorator-based command line, keep in mind:

The order of the parameters is not important.

Prefixes can be spelled out or abbreviated in the command line.

6

Option names can be abbreviated to anything that is unique.
